Again, I am going with a Woody Allen movie that doesn’t star Woody Allen. Why am I doing this? For the most part Allen is a whiny bitch and annoys the hell out of me. Believe me, I appreciate plenty of his roles and will get into my favorite ones in the weeks ahead. But Woody’s true talent is in writing and directing, not acting.
This movie, Magic in the Moonlight, starring Collin Firth and Emma Stone, is a movie about deception and trying to unveil another’s trickery. The plot of the story is not what makes it fantastic, but the writing. I’ve seen this movie about 3 times and liked it so much I, regrettably, asked Mrs. Fly to watch it. Five minutes into it, she accused me of being the lead actor in the movie, proclaiming that the movie was actually a biopic on my life.
Granted, Colin Firth’s character is a bit of a curmudgeon cynic and he truly gives zero fucks, similar to me. But Le Fly is often jovial and definitely full of positive energy, fueled by the many barrels of coffee that I drink on a daily basis.
The movie is a must watch. Enjoy.

I will watch this later tonight! This must be new. Movies & Music – a wonderful escape. You are quite an unusual guy. But hey, Thanks~
PS: That is Woody’s character – whiny – he has perfected it. In the beginning it was entertaining – it just got tiresome & OLD – like he did.
Dr. Fly – were you able to justify your actions being portrayed in the movie to Mrs. Fly’s satisfaction? This intrigues me. I felt burned by Blue Jasmine last week, but may have to give Woody another go..
If you didn’t like blue jasmine, you’re probably from the desert.
Mrs fly is never able to be convinced of anything, so no.
Loved Blue Jasmine – Very Realistic & beautifully potrayed by Cate Blanchett. Could not rent Moonlight – only available to buy on Apple TV- so I watched Melinda and Melinda -(another Woody flick) instead & I enjoyed it! Will look for Moonlight elsewhere.
Apparently, you don’t live in the desert…
Spring for the purchase. Trust me you will watch it more than once.
OK, I will buy it! Just read today’s post. Bedlamite – where do you find these words? Sadly, in this market I am a bedlamite. What a perfect word. I’ll buy EXODUS & maybe won’t be a bedlamite any more.
Viewed this flick a few months ago and enjoyed it. Emma Stone and the south of France a good combo. Woody’s dialogue always sounds the same, however, no matter who is uttering the lines.

Took your advice: bought “Magic in the Moonlight! & Just finished it
• Delightfully witty
• Love Period Pieces – transported back in time
• Music in this movie is dreamy & magical – Want every song.
• Gorgeous south of France
• Always fun viewing idle rich
• If you are half as dashing as Colin Firth – you are denying your followers
• If Stanley is You – his charisma supersedes his egotistical & snobbish manner – HE IS Mr. Darcy!
You were right – I’ll view again.
